How Your Body Communicates That Something’s Wrong

3. Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

Didn’t get enough sleep? That’s the usual reason for dark circles. But if they stick around even after rest, they could point to anemia—a lack of healthy red blood cells. Eating well and getting enough iron might help brighten up your under-eyes.

4. How Your Hair Absorbs Water

Want to know if your hair holds moisture well? Try this: put a clean, dry strand of hair in water. If it sinks fast, your hair soaks up moisture easily but also loses it quickly. This is called high porosity. To care for it, use rich, creamy conditioners, oils, and deep treatments to keep it hydrated and frizz-free.

5. Lines on Your Neck

Noticing deep wrinkles on your neck? These might be more than just skin aging. After menopause, women sometimes lose bone strength, and these wrinkles could hint at lower bone density. They might also be a sign of thyroid issues, which can affect your skin too. It’s best to get this checked early.

6. Blurry Vision

Struggling to read signs or recognize faces from afar? You could be dealing with nearsightedness or astigmatism. Regular eye exams can help catch these issues early, so your vision stays clear.
